If you ever saw this guy program you know he's very competent so IMHO that reflects badly on twitter, tbh.

I think the more likely explanation is that he's just not as familiar with frontend web development and react, so he underestimated the difficulty. He was asking for help on Twitter for how to make pills inside of a text field. His failure was caused by a knowledge check rather than a skill check.

Totally fair! I think it is more of a reminder that making impact at large companies can be hard even for competent people.
